Fresh from their success last week during the three-night, standing room-only "A Night At the Liberty" annual concert series that was held at Hailey's Liberty Theatre, Wood River Middle School and High School music students will hold their final choral concert of the 2010-2011 season tomorrow (Wednesday) at Hailey's Community Campus (1050 Fox Acres Road) at 7 p.m.

The Wednesday evening concert, titled "Seize the Day" (inspired by the 1992 Christian Bale-Robert Duvall musical, "Newsies"), is open to the general public and is free, but donations are gratefully accepted and appreciated.

Members of COLLA VOCE (Sarah Arters, Chloe Barrymore, Taylor Berntson, Morgan Brunker, Rachel Conover, Mariah Davis Julia Dwyer, Lauren Jacobs, Mia Jefferson, Elana King-Nakaoka, Lauren Lichtenberg, Anastasia Maricich, Jonnie Pedersen, Mary Petzke), ENCHANTE (Allie Cleven, Wendy de la Cruz, Breanna Glahn, Shanniece Hall, Rebecca Hogan, Dalyah Reel-Hughes, Bridget Kernan, Dallas Lewallen, Amber Lewis, Tracy Morales, Destiny Murphy, Genasee Twitchell, Katie Walton), as well as the all-male singing group, THE B-TONES (William Ashfield, Michael Duder, Drew Deffe, Alec England, Kevin Ferry, Caleb Garvin, Mark Karlovich, Nathaniel Kniffen, Alexzander Padilla, Sean Sutton, Rosendo Torres Vargas) will be featured at the "Seize the Day" concert.

This final choral concert of the season caps off a remarkable and unceasingly inspiring school year for the 137 music students of Wood River High School, particularly.

Last month at the annual Heritage Music Festival Competition (in Anaheim, CA), WRHS students snagged more highly-coveted awards at that fiercely-competitive competition (it regularly features more than 2,400 competeting music students) than any other school that was represented there -- including awards for "Heritage Festival Sweepstakes" (top school combined), "Choral Sweepstakes" (top choirs combined), "Instrumental Sweepstakes" (orchestra and band combined),  "Outstanding Choir" (Colla Voce), "Outstanding Band" (The Dixie Band), "Outstanding Chamber Orchestra", "Best Concert Choir", "Best Orchestra" and "Best Concert Band" ... an unpredecented coup for not only the WRHS students, but also for music teacher Tony Randall, choir director Max Stimac, men's chamber choir (and Sun Valley Summer Symphony) director R.L. Rowsey, and for chamber orchestra director Rebecca Martin,

The concert tomorrow night at the Community Campus will also feature a very impressive array of instrumentalists who were likewise featured last week at Hailey's "A Night At the Liberty' concerts: Sam Funk (guitar), Alex Lochard (string bass), Rebecca Martin (violin), Emily Parker (viola), Dorinda Rendahl (piano), R.L. Rowsey (synth, piano), Ben Thompson (percussion), Haylee Thompson (cello), Hunter Thompson (violin), Jim Watkinson (synth, bass) and Jimmy Williams (bass).

Call 578-5020 (ext. 2249) for more info. about Wednesday night's 'Seize the Day" concert at Hailey's Community Campus.

Wood River, Middle School Music Students Rock!!/'Glee' Finale Tonight at 7
If you weren't able to see any of those truly amazing and inspiring music students from Hailey's Wood River High and Middle Schools last week -- during one of those three standing room-only concerts there at the Liberty Theatre -- really try to make time this Wednesday to see them at Hailey's Community Campus, because they are something truly incredible to listen to ... EVERY BIT as passionate and committed to their music as any of those tremendously-talented kids on "Glee" are (which, btw, begins its two-part, Manhattan-based season finale tonight on FOX, at 7 p.m.)
